For years, AWS customers have asked for Savings Plans that cover managed databases. Database Savings Plans promise up to 35% savings for serverless deployments and strong discounts for provisioned instances. You keep flexibility across engines, instance families, sizes, Regions, and deployment models while locking in predictable spend with a 1 year commitment measured in dollars per hour.

I built a Python toolkit called IBM Spend Sleuth to help teams analyze IBM Cloud billing data, especially when retroactive resource tagging is not available. Problem it solves: IBM Cloud does not support retroactive tagging. Cost allocation gets messy when names are inconsistent. Spend Sleuth uses flexible pattern-based filtering across any CSV column to group costs, validate months, and turn planning assumptions into reports.
